I want him to pay.

It’s the worst pain on the face of this Earth,” said Bryce’s father, Clarence Wolfe.<\/p>\n The family of Talyia Nesmith is also feeling pain and heartbreak.<\/p>\n RELATED: Mother pleads for driver to surrender after fatal hit-and-run in Philadelphia’s Eastwick section<\/a><\/p>\n City Council President Kenyatta Johnson and other community leaders spoke with residents in the city’s Eastwick section on Thursday as the push for justice continues.<\/p>\n “If you are speeding and you do take a life, you should be held accountable,” Johnson said.<\/p>\n The driver of a Dodge Charger, equipped with a supercharged engine, struck the 29-year-old Monday morning<\/a> along Elmwood Avenue, near 73rd Street.<\/p>\n Investigators say the car was reported stolen about an hour before Nesmith was killed and that police found it in Upper Darby the next day.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/19606628_072026-wpvi-reid-mug-img.png\"\/)
